The Forbidden City, once the ruling center of China, issued orders that would have allowed millions of warriors of all races to fight hard, is now shrouded in a thick layer of death.

In the Taihe Palace, the four words 'Jianji Suiyou' written by Emperor Qianlong are still hanging on the dragon chair, but now only the Empress Dowager Longyu and Pu Yi, the two orphans and widows, and His Royal Highness have to face, and the ministers who have sworn allegiance to them are still sitting on the dragon chair.

"Due to the uprising of the people's army, the provinces responded, and the nine summers were boiling, and the lives were devastated. Yuan Shikai was specially appointed to discuss the overall situation with the representatives of the People's Army, discuss the opening of the National Assembly, and referendum on the form of government. For two months, there has been no way to do so. The north and the south are separated from each other. Shang dropped out of Tu, and Shi Lu was in the wild. If the national system is indecided, the people's livelihood will be uneasy every day. Today, the psychology of the people of the whole country is mostly inclined to the republic. The southern and central provinces advocated righteousness in the front, and the generals in the north also advocated in the back. The desire of the people is known..."

Listening to Hu Weide reading aloud the edict that he personally sealed, the Empress Dowager Longyu's eyes couldn't help but turn red for a while, and some of the Manchu ministers below were also like this, only Emperor Xuantong sat in her arms and didn't notice anything, and at this time Hu Weide continued to hold the edict and read it aloud...

“…… How can he endure because of the honor of a surname, and the likes and dislikes of the people. It is to use the general trend of the outside and the public opinion to judge the public opinion internally, and the emperor will make the ruling power public to the whole country and set it as a republican constitutional state. Comfort the heart of the sea to be disgusted with chaos and hope for governance, and the ancient saints of the world are far away for the righteousness of justice. Yuan Shikai was elected as the prime minister by the Senior Affairs Yuan, and when the old and the new are metabolized, it is appropriate to have a way to unify the north and the south. That is, Yuan Shikai organized the provisional republican government with full powers. Consult with the People's Army on a unified approach. During the general period, the people were in peace, and the sea and the sea were still in peace, and the Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan ethnic groups were still completely divided into a large Republic of China. The emperor was able to retire and relax. You travel for a long time, receive the good gifts of the people, and see the completion of Zhizhi, isn't it Yiyi! Chin this. ”

After reading the edict, the last court meeting ceremony of the Qing Dynasty was over, Hu Weide took the edict and led the ministers to bow to the Empress Dowager Longyu and Emperor Xuantong again. Then he withdrew from the palace and ceased to be a minister of the Qing Dynasty.

On February 12, 1912, with the edict issued by the Empress Dowager Longyu. So far, the Qing government, which has existed for 268 years, has completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

In the city of Beijing, the imperial capital of the Qing Empire, more and more people are cutting off their braids, and you can also see many banner men who still have braids with godless eyes. Wandering around aimlessly...

For these flag men. Their time is over.

High-end atmosphere on the grade, low-key luxury has connotation...

Well, just kidding ...

However, the newly built Governor's Mansion is indeed very luxurious.

With the passage of time, the headquarters buildings of various departments of the military government were built one after another, which naturally included the governor's mansion used by Yan Shao for office. It can be said that except for the site of the military academy and Yan Shao's manor, which has not yet been completed because it is complicated, the office space of the military government department has basically been completed.

In the governor's office in the official residence, Yan Shao was sitting on the sofa. Listen to Elino in his arms, where he reports on the situation on the group.

"At present, the expansion of the iron plant is underway, and I believe that the target of 1 million tons will be completed within the year. In addition, the operation of the cotton textile mill and some other factories is also very smooth, if nothing else, this year's profit is about fifteen million..."These materials were recorded in Elano's mind, so he just leaned on Yan Shao's arms, and Eleno continued without thinking. "Over there in Wuhu, the institute has assembled 10 new assembly lines, which are on the way to Anqing, as long as these 10 assembly lines are put into use, the company's automobile production capacity can reach 700,000 units, and the old 5 assembly lines are also ready, just wait for the 10 assembly lines to be put into use, and modify them..."

After speaking, he turned his head sideways, and Elano looked at Yan Shao. "The biggest problem for car companies right now is the supply of parts, 700,000 units, which is more than 100,000 units more than the combined output of all car companies in the world, and it is not easy to meet such a large demand..."

"What about the U.S.?"

"The order has been delivered, but more than 700,000 parts, the United States said it would be very difficult..."

Hearing Elaline say this, Yan Shao scratched his head.

The annual output of more than 700,000 is more than 100,000 units more than all the car companies in the world combined, which sounds really domineering. But Yan Shao will not get carried away about this, because he knows very well that all he has done is to use the advanced nature of the 'assembly line' to surpass the times to assemble the parts ordered from the United States into cars, and then sell them, and that's it...

If one day the Americans suspend the export of spare parts, then the now 'booming' Yushi Automobile Company will suddenly fall to the bottom. To paraphrase a cliché, Yan Shao's car kingdom is built on the sand.

Naturally, Yan Shao could not be unaware of this, so he cooperated with the gentry and celebrities in Anhui to set up so many factories to provide the parts needed by the automobile companies, but now these factories that have been put into production together can only meet 3% of the needs of the automobile companies, and the remaining 97% still need to be imported from the United States.

Seeing Yan Shao's headache, Elaline hurriedly leaned over and gently rubbed it on his forehead with his hand, and only spoke after a while. "Now those factories in Anhui alone, if you want to meet the needs of car companies, at least in the short term, I have a proposal, since we are already working with the gentry in Anhui, why not expand the scope a little?"

Hearing this, Yan Shao, who had already closed his eyes, reopened his eyes, then looked down at Elano and motioned for her to continue.

After noticing Yan Shao's eyes, Elaline lowered his head and groaned for a moment before continuing. "With the gentry of Anhui alone, even if we have strong support, it is impossible to get them to meet our needs in the short term. In that case, let's simply expand the scope of cooperation and expand it to the whole of China. At the moment, Anhui can already meet 3% of our needs, and there are so many provinces in China, if all of them are involved, it will be absolutely easy to completely meet the needs of car companies for parts..."

"And they make parts for cars, where do the raw materials for those parts come from? It must be purchased from the Xiangshan Iron Plant, which has an annual output of 500,000 tons and will be able to reach 1 million tons within the year. It is definitely possible to supply the needs of these factories......... We buy parts from these factories to make cars, and the gentry merchants buy steel from our ironworks to produce parts, if such a cycle is formed. Our profits are definitely greater than those of ordinary car companies, and even if those car companies find a breakthrough in patents in the future, it is unlikely to pose much of a threat to us..."

After listening to Elaine's words, Yan Shao couldn't help but get excited. A pair of strange hands kneaded on Elano's plump breasts. It's just that just when Yan Shao began to take off Elanon's long skirt and wanted to linger with her on the sofa, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Governor, there's a telegram from Shanghai..."

When he was in high spirits, it was definitely a disappointing thing to be suddenly brought to such a scene, especially when Yan Shao's pants were half off, so after letting go of Elanon, Yan Shao, who got up from the sofa, suddenly muttered.

On the other side, Elaline hurriedly sorted out the somewhat messy clothes that Yan Shao had messed up. It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no problem that he nodded and signaled that Yan Shao could open the door.

Pulling the door open, Yan Shao looked at Wu Qianqiu who was standing outside the door. "Telegram from the United States? Who sent it? ”

Because of some ulterior thoughts of Yan Shao. Therefore, the sound insulation effect of each room in the Governor's Mansion is very good, so Wu Qianqiu, who was standing outside the door, did not know what was going on in the room just now.

So after walking into the room, seeing that the neatly dressed Elaline was pouring himself a glass of water to drink, Wu Qianqiu didn't think much about it, but handed the telegram in his hand to Yan Shaodao. "It's from Ford in the United States and several other companies, and it seems that there are some things I want to discuss with you."

"Ford? What do I have to talk to them about? There was some confusion in his heart, but Yan Shao still opened the telegram.

The content on the telegram was very simple, that is, I wanted to talk to Yan Shao, hoping to get permission to use the assembly line in Yan Shao's hands. Naturally, they could not be used in vain, and in the telegram Ford and other car companies promised to give Yan Shao a patent fee for every car produced through an assembly line.

Originally, those car companies were still hoping that the U.S. government would be able to negotiate with Yan Shao about some results. Even if they can't talk about it, if Yan Shao provokes the U.S. government and makes the U.S. government punish him somewhat, it will not be bad for them.

It's just that who would have thought that after Yan Shao rejected the U.S. government, he let his industry in the U.S. go around a little through various connections...

And then, there was no then...

In a way, this kind of movement is probably more useful than all the car companies combined. It's not that Coca-Cola and Gillette are really more influential than the American auto companies combined, but how to say it...

Politics is never clean, and before every presidential election, it is the time when the political donations are at their highest. Naturally, this kind of donation cannot be given for free, and there will generally be some return, otherwise who will raise money for you.

In later generations, for example, in return to political patrons and allies, presidents often appointed these people as diplomatic ambassadors, even though they probably never even traveled to the countries where they were appointed.

With so many presidents of the United States, Yan Shao naturally can't remember them all, but he doesn't need to remember them all, just be familiar.

Like the previous Theodore? Roosevelt, generally those who are a little more serious in history class, or who are slightly interested in history, will remember it, and Yan Shao naturally remembers it too. So when Roosevelt was campaigning, Yan Shao was funded by Roosevelt in the American industry.

And wait for this term of William? Howard? When Tartov was campaigning, Yan Shao always felt that his name was a little familiar, and compared with him, Yan Shao really had no impression of his opponent. In this case, Yan Shao naturally knew who he should support.

The two presidents in a row have pressed the right treasure, so naturally they have to be taken care of.

There are also some advisers to the president who feel. The U.S. auto industry provides a lot of employment and should be taken care of. But almost all of Mr. Yan's auto parts are imported from the United States, and they won't change, at least in the short term. In other words, Yan Shao's Yushi Automobile Company will only feed more Americans, and in this case, there will naturally not be too many problems...

————————————————————

"Want permission from me, are they whimsical?"

After reading the contents of the telegram, Yan Shao looked at Elano and Wu Qianqiu with some surprise.

"Of course not—" A cold voice came from behind him, causing all three people in the room to turn their heads. It wasn't Elaline and Wu Qianqiu who spoke, but Katarina, who came out of nowhere.

"You're taking a closer look at the contents of the telegram...", after pointing to the telegram in Yan Shao's hand. Caterina said in a pleasant voice.

After listening to Caterina's words, Yan Shao hurriedly continued to read.

In addition to the hope that Yan Shao would transfer the license, another piece of news was confided on the telegram. That is, Ford and other companies are planning to design new assembly lines on their own.

It is true that Yan Shao has almost registered the patents of the existing assembly line, but this does not mean that Ford has no way, at least they can find a way to avoid the patents registered by Yan Shao. It's not impossible.

It's just a hassle to do so. I'm afraid it will take many years to succeed, so Ford and they will send a telegram to Yan Shao to discuss carefully. It would be best if they could get permission from Yan Shao, but if they couldn't, then they would have to develop a new assembly line on their own...

"What do you think?" After reading the telegram, Yan Shao looked sideways at Eleno and Caterina who were standing aside, and without waiting for them to answer, Yan Shao had already thrown the telegram aside. "I don't think there's anything to talk about..."

Leaving aside the question of whether Ford can really bypass Yan Shao's patent. Even if it could, it would probably take many years. And in all these years. It's enough to make a lot of profits, and this profit is definitely much higher than the license to Ford.

After all, after 10 production lines are put into production, the annual output of automobile companies is already higher than that of other automobile companies in the world combined, and if it is not necessary to consider the market problem, it is not impossible to reach a production capacity of one million vehicles.

The only thing Yan Shao is worried about now is the supply of parts and components needed to produce cars, and there is really nothing for Yan Shao to worry about.

Even if something really happens, don't forget that there are more than 100 million pounds worth of funds stored in Yan Shao's safe. Such a large sum of money is already worth more than the global automobile industry, which has only been born for a short time, combined.

"By the way, why are you here?" After making a decision, Yan Shao turned his head sideways to look at Katarina.

Nowadays, in addition to the campus of the Army Military Academy, which has not yet been built, the offices of various departments of the military government have been almost built, and the same is true of Katerina's special affairs bureau—————— manor is Yan Shao's private residence, not counted, and it has not been completed because of the high requirements.

The office building of the Secret Service Bureau has just been built, and now is the time when Katerina is busy there, and it is inevitable that Yan Shao will be a little surprised to appear here now.

"I'm coming back to tell you a piece of news..."Hearing Yan Shao's words, Caterina hurriedly replied. I just came back from Beijing with the news that the Qing family has abdicated..."

This is naturally expected, and Caterina and Elano don't feel much about it, but the impact of this news on Wu Qianqiu is huge. After all, he also lived under the rule of the Qing family for more than twenty years anyway, and now that the Qing family has abdicated, it is almost impossible to say that it has no effect on him...

At this time, Wu Qianqiu was both happy and a little ...... His heart was full of complicated emotions, on the other hand, Yan Shao on the side, he was only happy in his heart...

After all, as a person in later generations, and not a fan of braided plays, it is impossible to have the slightest good impression of Qing Muro. So after hearing the news, Yan Shao was naturally very happy...

"This is really great news, I must celebrate it tonight..."Speaking of this, Yan Shao has already begun to look at Elano and Caterina with bad intentions...

————————————————————

The news of the abdication of the Qing family soon spread throughout the country, except for some places where the banner people gathered, the vast majority of people only had joy in their hearts...

Naturally, there are some old and young, but the voices of these people did not even make a splash in the celebration upsurge.

At the same time, as Yan Shao said, that night, he also celebrated with Elaline and the others, as usual, but this time there was an extra Lu Ying in the room...

Usually it's just a game between three people in private, but suddenly there is one more person, Elaline and the others naturally feel a little embarrassed, in fact, it's not just them, even Lu Ying herself feels a little awkward. It was only with Yan Shao's efforts that the awkward atmosphere in the room quickly disappeared, replaced by hot gasps and blood-inflating moans...

When Yan Shao got up from the middle of the three flushed bodies at dawn the next day, he was just glad that he had been exercising hard some time ago, and his physical fitness was far beyond before, and he finally didn't get tired last night... (To be continued......)
